Kailua eatery celebrates new season of "Downton Abbey"

The fourth season of the English series Downton Abbey will air on PBS Hawaii on Sunday, Jan. 5 at 8 p.m. and a Kailua eatery is holding an event to celebrate.

A Cup of Tea is planning a Royal Affair for their guests, similar to their Royal Wedding event in 2011.

"Rather than preview the new fourth season series first episode, for which I have a DVD disc sent to me from England, we will be showing a special 60-minute video of Highclere Castle, the real English Castle that inspired Downton Abbey and where the series is filmed," said A Cup of Tea owner Darlene Pahed.

The 60-minute video will introduce Earl George Herbert, the eighth Earl of Carnarvon, and his family who are the current residents of the castle.

The Downton Abbey event at A Cup of Tea will be held on Jan. 4, with the first seating at 1 p.m. and the second seating at 6 p.m. Reservations are required.

On the menu for the Jan. 4 event will be a special imported tea blend called Abbey's Rose -- a black based tea infused with rose petals with Scottish Delight, a blend of black teas.

A Cup of Tea is the only authentic Victorian tea room and restaurant in Hawaii with a dedicated chef and serves homemade and freshly baked items such as their Clotted Cream, Lemon Curd and Scones of a different type daily.

The restaurant has won many awards, such as the Ilima Award for Best New Restaurant in 2009.
